Green Bay Packers tight end Lance Kendricks was cited in September for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, an online news agency reported.

A police officer pulled Kendricks over Sept. 2 after clocking him traveling 81 mph in a 70-mph-zone, according to TMZ Sports. The arresting officer smelled a strong odor of marijuana, for which Kendricks apologized but at first denied possessing, TMZ reported. But Kendricks then admitted it, and the officer found marijuana in the glove box and in a Louis Vuitton bag, along with drug paraphernalia, according to the report.

Kendricks was cited for possessing marijuana and paraphernalia and was issued a warning for speeding, TMZ reported. It did not identify the police jurisdiction but said the case is “in the hands of the Outagamie County District Attorney.”

The Green Bay Press-Gazette on Saturday could not independently confirm TMZ’s report, and online court records show no citations or charges issued.

If convicted, Kendricks could face discipline under the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. The league does not take action in such matters until after the court case is resolved.

Kendricks, a Milwaukee native who played at Wisconsin, signed with the Packers as a free agent in March. He moved into a starting role after the Packers released tight end Martellus Bennett on Nov. 8. Kendricks has 10 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown this season.

Packers rookie running back Aaron Jones was arrested in October under similar circumstances in Brown County. Jones is awaiting a Feb. 1 court appearance after having been issued traffic citations. He was cited for speeding, operating without a valid driver’s license and operating with a restricted controlled substance.
